Benefits of technology

[0009]It was therefore an object of the present invention to provide a process by means of which cyclic ketones can be obtained in high purity in a simple manner and with a small outlay.
[0011]A further object of the present invention was to provide a purification process for cyclic ketones which can readily be combined with known processes for preparing cyclic ketones.

Problems solved by technology

Conventional purification processes for such separation problems are therefore complicated and costly.
In all processes, the purity of the crude products is not sufficient for some applications without additional purification.
In these cases, a very complicated purification, for example by multistage distillation and / or crystallization, is therefore necessary.

example 1

[0142]A crude cyclododecanone product which has been prepared by the process as described in DE 103 44 595 A using a cyclododecadienone having a purity of about 97.5% in the hydrogenation step and comprises 97% of cyclododecanone and many further components (0.2% of cyclododecane, 0.5% of cyclododecanol, 0.6% of dodecanol, 0.3% of dodecanal, 0.6% of hydroxymethylcycloundecane, 0.1% of formylcycloundecane and 0.2% of many further products whose individual contents were each below 0.05%) is heated with 0.5% by weight of an 85% strength aqueous phosphoric acid at 200° C. for 5 hours and subsequently separated at 10 mbar by means of a thin film evaporator into an overhead stream (about 95% of the total stream) and a bottom stream (about 5% of the total stream) which comprises the phosphoric acid. The bottom stream can be reused for a further acid treatment. The overhead stream is subsequently fractionally distilled at 5 mbar in a column. This gives cyclododecanone having purities of >99...

example 2

[0144]A crude cyclododecanone product analogous to example 1 was passed over acidic aluminum oxide (100 ml) at 220° C. and a space velocity over the catalyst of 0.5 kg of feed / liter of catalyst×h. The reaction product mixture was collected over 24 hours and subsequently distilled as in example 1. Cyclododecanone having purities of from 99.7 to 99.8% was obtained in a distillation yield of 96%.

example 3

[0145]Example 2 was repeated using acidic titanium dioxide as catalyst. Cyclododecanone having a purity of 99.8% was obtained in a distillation yield of 94%.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for purifying a composition (I) comprising at least one cyclic ketone having from 7 to 16 carbon atoms, which comprises thermal treatment of the composition (I) with at least one acid and further purification by means of a process selected from the group consisting of distillation, extraction and crystallization, Furthermore, the present invention relates to a process for preparing cyclododecanone, which comprises such a purification, and the use of at least one acid for purifying a composition (I) comprising at least one cyclic ketone having from 7 to 16 carbon atoms by thermal treatment of the composition (I) with the acid.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a national stage application (under 35 U.S.C. §371) of PCT / EP2007 / 056391, filed Jun. 27, 2007, which claims benefit of European application 06116262.4, filed Jun. 29, 2006.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a process for purifying a composition (I) comprising at least one cyclic ketone having from 7 to 16 carbon atoms, which comprises thermal treatment of the composition (I) with at least one acid and further purification by means of a process selected from the group consisting of distillation, extraction and crystallization. The present invention further relates to a process for preparing cyclododecanone, which comprises such a purification, and the use of at least one acid for purifying a composition (I) comprising at least one cyclic ketone having from 7 to 16 carbon atoms by thermal treatment of the composition (I) with the acid.[0003]Cyclic ketones are required in high purity for var...
